Week 14 NFL Power Rankings: Patriots Remain Steady, Movement In Top 5

Week 13 across the NFL featured several premier matchups between teams occupying the top half of the league, allowing us to exit the month of November with a clearer picture of which teams are championship contenders, which are playoff contenders, and which should start planning for the Draft. Here's how our power rankings shake out after the latest week of NFL action.

1. New England Patriots: The Patriots don't seem to be showing any sign of disappearing from the top of these rankings after a dominant win against the New York Giants on Monday night, where the result was never in question. Drake Maye is continuing to churn out MVP-worthy performances, and New England is the first team in the league to move to 11 wins on the season. They haven't lost since September 28.2. Denver Broncos: The Broncos continue to climb the rankings as they became just the second team this season, after the Patriots, to reach double-digit wins with a victory over the Commanders. Washington pushed them to the limit and forced overtime, but the Broncos extended their winning streak to 9 games. Their last loss also came over two months ago on September 29.

3. Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks are behind the Rams in the NFC West race after losing a two-point decision to them a few weeks ago, but the Rams had an ugly loss on Sunday, while Seattle looked dominant in their second consecutive win, so we're going to give them the Top 5 nod here. Really, the three NFC West contenders will probably bounce around our Top 10 based on each week's results, and all should be considered playoff contenders.

4. Chicago Bears: After starting the season with two losses, the Bears have rebounded quite nicely to lead the NFC North entering the final full month of the season. They are 9-1 in their last 10 games, last lost over a month ago, and on Black Friday defeated the defending Super Bowl Champions and NFC East leaders, Philadelphia, on the road. So the Eagles have dipped out of the Top 5 this week and have been replaced by the Bears.

5. Los Angeles Rams: The Rams drop a few spots this week after a heartbreaking three-point loss, but are still one of the top teams in the league. As we mentioned earlier, they are going to bounce around the Top 10 teams for the rest of the season, barring a total collapse, and the loss to the Panthers this week wasn't so bad that it knocks them out of the Top 5.
